It may take some time for your skin to shrink, but you lost a lot of weight. Try friming lotions consistently for a few months, if they don't do anything for you, you may want to consult with a doctor about a tuck. Sometimes there isn't enough elasticity for your skin to recover from being so stretched out. Unfortunatley, it is genetically determined how elastic your skin is. Some women never even get a single stretch mark, others could use every lotion known to womankind and get stretch marks from gaining even a little weight.
I weighed about 217lbs when my daughter was born and got down to 145 for my first competition, I had some loose skin, but it seems to have gradually shrunk a little. I like St Ives firming lotion, as well as Jergens. They aren't too expensive, and even if they don't firm your skin up, at least it will be soft....
